Abstract: Setting the clock frequency provided to a load circuit as function of the operating temperature and supply voltage of the load circuit, and setting the supply voltage as a function of the operating temperature of the load circuit. The load circuit can be safely operated above the frequency which would be the limit if the load circuit were operating at the maximum test temperature. At the given operating temperature, the supply voltage can be raised to permit even higher frequency operation, or lowered to reduce power.

Abstract: A guidewire loaded stent for delivery through a catheter is described herein. The stent delivery assembly can deliver and place a stent within tortuous regions of the body which are accessible to guidewires but inaccessible to stenting catheters. The assembly comprises a guidewire covered in part by a retractable sheath and a radially expandable stent near or at the distal end of the guidewire. The guidewire has a proximal stop for maintaining the position of the stent along the guidewire. The whole assembly is advanced through conventional catheters or it may be used alone. In either case, when the stent is adjacent to a treatment site within the body, the sheath is retracted proximally to expose the stent for radial expansion into contact with the vessel wall.

Abstract: Stable, homogeneous melt solutions are prepared at temperatures of 200° C. or less from solid mixtures comprising at least one diaryl carbonate, at least one high melting dihydroxy aromatic compound (mp>200° C.), a transesterification catalyst, and optionally a lower melting dihydroxy aromatic compound. Thus, a stable, homogeneous melt solution is obtained from a solid mixture comprising 4,4'-biphenol (mp 282-284° C.) at a temperature of about 200° C. using either diphenyl carbonate or bis(methyl salicyl) carbonate as the diaryl carbonate component. It is shown that formation of the stable, homogeneous melt solutions requires the presence of the transesterification catalyst when substantial amounts of the high melting dihydroxy aromatic compound are present in the initial solid mixture. Solid mixtures comprising a variety of high melting bisphenols; 4,4'-biphenol; 3,3,3,3'-tetramethylspirobiindanbisphenol, and 4,4'-sulfonyidiphenol are converted to stable, homogeneous melt solutions at 200° C., a temperature substantially below the melting points of the high melting bisphenols in their pure states.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for executing a qualified electronic signature (QES) with the aid of a mobile communications terminal. According to the invention, items of user-specific information for executing the QES are stored on a signature module and can be read out with the aid of a reading terminal while using a personal identification characteristic of the user, whereby the items of read out information are transmitted from the reading terminal to a data processing device in which a QES method is carried out based on the items of read out information. The invention is characterized in that the mobile communications terminal is used as a reading terminal, and that the signature module is a module which is independent of the mobile communications terminal and is not required for operating the terminal. The invention is advantageous in that the data for executing a QES can be read out with the aid of any mobile terminal and can be forwarded to corresponding applications.
